Yanfeng, a leading global automotive supplier, and TactoTek, a pioneer and leader in smart surface technologies, have announced a collaboration to develop highly integrated Human Machine Interface (HMI) solutions for future Smart Cabin applications.
The partnership, which is based in Neuss, Germany, and Oulu, Finland, seeks to combine advanced lighting, user interfaces, and decorative trim with a deeply integrated product approach, enabling exceptional design flexibility.
Yanfeng has made the strategic decision to integrate TactoTek’s Injection Molded Structural Electronics (IMSE) technology as a layer in its worldwide Smart Cabin business. The intention is to enhance the overall user experience by introducing new functional elements like haptic feedback, and display integration.
This approach aligns with emerging automotive industry trends, including autonomous driving, and addresses non-driving related tasks (NDRTs).
The collaboration aims to create a unique in-vehicle user experience by accelerating seamless lighting integration into all surfaces of future vehicle interiors. The IMSE technology offers a fresh unique design and styling principles for slim, compact configurations and unconventional shapes.
“The partnership with TactoTek is a great addition to support our global technology portfolio for future Smart Cabin applications and is designed for long-term engagement,” said Patrick Nebout, Chief Technology Officer at Yanfeng Technology. “By combining our expertise, we can accelerate design and development activities, providing advantages for our customers along the entire value chain.”
“Yanfeng’s leading role in the industry is crucial to the rapid transformation of the automotive sector. With our IMSE technology platform, we aim for this partnership to seamlessly merge the visual appeal, tactile experience, and functionality of vehicle interiors. Together, we are creating experiences for the end user that go beyond pure functionality – they are emotionally engaging, and define the essence of future mobility,” said Dr. Thomas Vetter, Senior Vice President of Global Automotive at TactoTek.
